A good deal brisker than in their commercial recording. Cracking!

I believe this is the lap of honour performance, as there is a documentary on RUclips which follows a few bands to this contest, and during the competition performance the audience only starts to applaud after the last note starts. In the lap of honour, everyone starts to applaud way before then, like in this recording!

What a lovely sound! I absolutely adore the sound of the brass ensemble in a classical style. Why has this style of music become so uncommon in the modern day?

WOW, what a stunning, pristine performance of an outstandingly dramatic and gripping composition! CONGRATS TO performers and composer alike! 👏👏👏🎶‼️

I went to the rehearsal night before the contest snd was sat next to H.Mortimer who had a tear down his cheek when Mr. Wycherley turned on the magic

Those euphoniums should be standing up after that last strain. That was incredible

Heard all of the bands at British Open in 1999 Great piece even if it was a long day to be fair 😊

This piece URGENTLY needs a new recording. It was composed around the time the BEATLES were recording THE BEATLES (otherwise known as ‘The White Album’) and PAUL MCCARTNEY was writing THINGUMYBOB for the Black Dyke Mills Band (ie 1968). This brass band band piece, DOING, is based on - or a reaction to - the Beatles song YOU CAN’T DO THAT from 1964 on their album A HARD DAYS NIGHT. The composer is in effect saying ‘yes, I can do this.’

I'm not sure what recordings some people are listening to but I've still got a cassette recording of the radio broadcast from Swinton's winning performance at the 1989 British Open (Ken Bruce is the compare) and this is definitely the same one with Gary Lord on sop with the extra long last note in the second movement and Steve Walker on solo trom rattling the double tonguing in on the last movement.

4:32 Lonely planet

1:00 Bigbang

8:50 Asteroid&shooting stars

Superb!

I still have a special metal tape recording of this from the BBC.

Thank you for the upload! A fine performance! The slow movement is fantastic.

12:30 harmonia

One of the best endings in the brass band repertoire. Kudos to the conductor & band for a superb performance!

This is my favourite recording of this piece, Superb trombone sound lead by a young Ian Bousfield,Thanks for sharing this fabulous Lp

40 years ago now! Amazing.

Alan Wycherley is sensational

Superb

The final hour

Ballet for Band 2.0. Lovely piece!❤

If I want to know how to play any cornet solo, I listen to Jim Shepherd play it first. Just beautiful. Phrased correctly to sound as it would be if it when sung, which so many players don't seem to bother with.

How did they get the name of the transcriber wrong? It’s Bram GAY!

I played that year

A very historic recording.

Good to hear these old live BBC recordings.

2778 views. 778 are mine. One of my favourite pieces. Thanks for posting it.

Wonderful. Metheny is my favorite guitarist.

Great performance!

Some good splits from solo euph!! 😂

David King is the master.

Great piece and wonderfully played. The record seems to have been seriously damaged. Lots of extraneous noise.

My Grundig sounds better.

Marvellous! Shame the Mike placing constrains Lyndon Baglin's wonderful euph tone - still, plenty from the top end, I'm guessing Tony Whittaker and Peter Teal.

Priceless!

Brilliant playing. The second movement is such a great piece of lyrical writing for cornet.

What a performance I was there .

Such a treat hearing Phillip play this, have never heard the Sunlife recording before.

so well played by the band ,, after many years of playing with bands its not my first choice as music i enjoy playing ,, my old partner on Bb Bass and I use to call this stuff 'squeak + fart music ,,, but we played it in any case for the good of the band ..

Do you have any more recordings of the contest please ? Especially Marple who played number 1 . Thanks very much .

Thanks for posting this. What a beauty `eh.

Set-Test at the Danish nationals 2024. it's gonna be great.

One of the most exhilarating performances in British Open history. And that Solo Cornet tone is to die for. What passion. A worthy winner indeed.

Nd Sun Life Tuba (Bass) Players..bloody superb !!..really demanding parts just played so so well. Much respect Gents !!🎉

Sun Life..sadly no longer performing..a great ensemble..much loved by so many Bandspersons !..Bourgeois really stretched an ensemble, technically and stylistically..superb performance of a masterwork with the great Dr. Roy at the helm..
